Biomechanical Association with Lower Limb Dominance During a Single Leg Landing Task
Abstract
71 female athletes completed unilateral drop landings during biomechanical motion capture. The non-dominant leg demonstrated less knee flexion and knee abduction moment, representing a protective and risk factor for ACL injury to the non-dominant leg.
